CHAPTER 556: CHAPTER 546: DON’T COMPARE YOURSELF WITH YOUR GRANDSON

With a light cough, Bi Xia shook his head faintly and said calmly, "It’s fine, keep sleeping."

Xu Renfei, looking half-asleep, glanced at Bi Xia before letting out a hum and leaned his head on Bi Xia’s shoulder, "Here, let me lean on you. I slept too late last night."

Originally intending to push someone’s head away, Bi Xia’s hand paused, and he looked sideways at Xu Renfei, "Busy with work last night?"

Feeling slightly stiff, Xu Renfei gave a vague hum, and Bi Xia raised an eyebrow but allowed Xu Renfei’s gesture. Meanwhile, the assistant nearby internally sneered, wondering who was the one playing games with her boss until late last night.

"Little Jiu’er, do you want to rest for a bit too? It’s an early day for all of us," Xu Renfei suggested.

Bi Xia shook his head, "No need. You should wake up too; we’ll arrive in ten minutes."

Xu Renfei opened his eyes, "Huh, so soon?"

"Yeah, it only takes about half an hour to get to the city center from here," Bi Xia replied.

Xu Renfei’s eyes lit up, "How do you know that?"

Bi Xia rolled his eyes, "I’m from Qing City!"

After speaking, he paused, then leaned in and whispered to Xu Renfei, "This new housing development area in the suburbs was just purchased by us for investment and construction. It’s still under development."

"The hotel we’re staying at..." Bi Xia paused again to make sure the cameraman wasn’t recording, then continued, "...belongs to the Chu Family, you know, Chu Kuang’s family."

"Oh!" Xu Renfei let out a wolfish howl, grabbed Bi Xia’s hand under the gaze of the cameraman, his eyes sparkling, "Little Jiu’er, I feel unbelievably lucky to know you! Everywhere feels like home!"

Bi Xia pulled his hand away and slapped Xu Renfei on the head, "Get lost! Home? You still have to pay for accommodation at home!"

Xu Renfei clutched his head pathetically, "But... at first, we’re not the ones paying for it. It’s all covered by the crew."

Bi Xia: ...It seems that’s true...

Realizing his mistake, Bi Xia generously patted Xu Renfei’s head, "Alright, don’t cry, don’t cry. Feifei’s all grown up now, no more crying!"

Xu Renfei: ...

"Shoo, shoo, do you think you’re consoling Bi Xiaoyuan?" Xu Renfei sat up, fixing his hair that Bi Xia had messed up, and mumbled, "This feels more like Bi Xiaohai."

Bi Xia: ...Pfft... That’s exactly right!

Wisely skipping this topic, Xu Renfei noticed the cameraman had finished recording their interaction and put away the camera. For extra caution, Xu Renfei mimicked Bi Xia and whispered, "Little Jiu’er, you have to be careful then."

"Hmm?" Another warning? Bi Xia wondered.

Xu Renfei continued, "I’m telling you, An Yi will stop at nothing to get back at me. Really, nothing at all! I’m just afraid..."

His voice trailed off, and he furrowed his brows with a look of grievance about to cry. Seeing this, Bi Xia turned and raised an eyebrow, "Afraid of what? You look like you’re about to cry."

Xu Renfei whispered, "I’m afraid... that he’ll take you away."

"Take me away?" Bi Xia asked, puzzled.

Xu Renfei nodded, "That bastard loves to take everything from me—my toys, games, homework... even my playmates."

His childhood had no friends... until he met Qin Zhan, the one person An Yi couldn’t approach. Later, he met his older brothers and gradually formed his own circle. Seeing An Yi constantly trying to infiltrate this circle, Xu Renfei realized An Yi’s ultimate goal was to take everything within it.

Xu Renfei actually respected everyone in this circle, but from then on, he vowed to not only belong to it but also become a key part of it. Only then could he reclaim everything rightfully his in the Xu Family.

He cherished this newly found younger brother deeply. He was sudden overwhelmed with worry that one day, this brother might no longer be his, might no longer talk or play with him. This was the first person who made him feel so relaxed. He really didn’t want to...

"Idiot..." A voice filled with helplessness rang in his ear as a hand squeezed his shoulder, "Don’t compare yourself to that bastard."
